Just a quick note. Proofread your article, something’s are missing, some repeated. Spellcheck doesn’t fix these issues.Thanks for all you do.

Thank you Thom. This makes complete sense to me. I eat this way as much as I possibly can. I do read the ingredients on labels on everything I buy.

Hmm. While this information didn't surprise me, I now find myself if another manifestation of the effects of processed foods might not be SAD, or the Seasonal Affective Disorder version of depression that sets in in winter and stops in late spring might not be, at least in part, made worse by the fact that we generally eat fewer salads, fruits and cooked vegetables in the winter, and begin eating more sugary treats, from October through Easter. I know light plays a part, as does spending less time outdoors, but I think this is worth experimenting with. Nutrient-dense, chemically unaltered dried, canned or frozen fruits and vegetables should probably take up a higher number of our winter calories than they do. Tip of the iceberg, maybe.

Correlates with the multi-year experience of the McDougall program and my personal experience.
